Yoruba is not a Language but a group of people that lives together in harmony. Though some of them share historical ties and culture

Hmmmm is that so

So what do you call those Yorubas living in Brazil ?

My guy Yoruba is a Language, just like Bini etc. Omo Oodua is an Umbrella. There is a difference.

Itsekiris whether they are yoruba or not does not change the fact that they are under the umbrella

Yoruba is a language that united several tribes ma brother.

Hope u know that there was no such thing as "Yoruba" in the 17th century? It was coined by our then colonial masters

Good, we had different ethnic groups. In fact Yarribawa (part of the banza in Hausa folk tela) were used to refer the Oyo and Kwara people.

You're from what dialect?

The Oyos have been deeply infused into other ethnic groups which have resulted to their gradual extinction

I am have a mixture of Awori and Egun but I an Awori man.

Yes We use Oyo dialect as the central dialect to communicate but each individual ethnic group still very much maintain it's dialect.

In fact I find Itsekiri easier to understand than Ijesha or Akoko

Lol, this by force Biafra na wa o. This tells how hellish Biafra will be. Will you even let these so called minorities vote or have rights if they join Biafra? You are going online countering their position. Telling them that who are they to say no? It sounds like Biafra is looking for slaves. This is crazy, no wonder they are all running from Biafra. Biafra people have shown their hands too early.

Wise words. . This goes to show how repressive their country would be, with no room for accommodation of dissenting voices.

Tufiakwa.

I am ilaje
There need to be self recognition of one's ethnicity else it will go into total extinction in years to come by the larger Oyo dialect

You can see the Ilaje man has answerd my question in Ilaje language and I understand him clearly. the language is the unifying factor .

Wrong statement, we are better off without you. that's why y'all can't go alone. Leave the SS alone. Its not by force.

xtrorse:
How did Igbos impersonate SE and SS people in that post?

FYI, IPOB is better of without you.
